Donning a bright orange hoodie, Vince Staples maneuvered through the heavy fog on stage and moved the Late Night crowd to the sounds of his new LP’s uptempo title track. In addition to the bright lights and smoke machines, Sir Juice of the J adding a little extra production value by picking up the “The Money Phone” (Sorry, Hov. *Kanye shrug*) and proceeding to make it precipitate dead presidents on the first few rows of fans.
